An attempt is made to use Monte-Carlo techniques to model the process of formation of meteor streams. It is supposed that meteor streams are formed as the result of ejection of meteoroids from a cometary nucleus at perihelion. Possible ejection velocities are determined for the Draconids, Perseids, Leonids, and Taurids. In general the values do not exceed 100 m s-1. The data obtained can also be used to estimate the ages of the streams.
